		<description><![CDATA[Dave was a youth pastor from a local church whom I’d been coaching for several months. One day he began to share his frustrations with Mike, one of the adults on his leadership team. Mike had been a member of the team before Dave was hired, and his ideas of what youth ministry ought to be were aligned more with the previous youth pastor’s approach than they were to Dave’s. As Dave settled into his role and began to carry out the mandate he’d been hired to accomplish, Mike got more and more upset.

		<description><![CDATA[Coaching is based on internal motivation. The biggest obstacle to growth and change is motivation, not information. You can come up with a great idea for how to make a client’s life better, but if that person isn’t looking to change in that area, proposing it was a complete waste of time. People are the most motivated to act on their own plans and ideas. Therefore, if you want to maximize growth, you’ll allow people to set their own agenda, because that’s where the motivation is highest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early in my coaching profession I took 2-3 pages of notes per client.  I captured a lot of the call, but had this sense that I was missing something important – that which could only be gathered in the moment of the dance.    I soon dropped to maybe ¼ page of notes.   That also seemed insufficient as my relationship with the client deepened.  This pendulum swing began a journey of fine-tuning my note taking skills for the sake of optimizing client relationships.
